new @e18e.dev blog post about when to publish source maps to npm 📦 source maps are often the reason behind bloated install sizes, but sometimes necessary. here we try to explain some of the balance, do/don't

Source maps or not?

Source maps are great for debugging, but should we be shipping them in production?

most of these github actions driven breaches are because of pull_request_target. here's some tips of what to look for when reviewing your own workflows. worth noting - it is safe, and necessary, when used correctly 🧵

Vue support in TanStack Form is going to get much better when Vue 3.6 drops. We just had a major blocker fixed through a merge upstream by @fuzzyma.bsky.social Excited for this one!

We're dreaming big with npmx. The way we'll make a lasting difference is by banding together. Check out @whitep4nth3r.com’s post to learn how to get involved in open source. Everyone is welcome.

To celebrate the launch of the @npmx.dev alpha, I wrote up a guide on how to make your first contribution to an open-source project. Let me know if this helps you make your first contribution (and it doesn't have to be code)!

npmx is now in alpha: this is our story, as told by our team and friends

Announcing npmx: a fast, modern browser for the npm registry

Today we're releasing the alpha of npmx.dev – a fast, modern browser for the npm registry, built in the open by a growing community.

I feel like the weather has a hard time figuring out whether it should be cold or warm

i have a growing @e18e.dev roadmap of very useful tools we could all benefit from to make it happen, we need two things: sponsors, and leads/champions 👀 if you're interested in either, come chat to me and i'd be happy to show you through the roadmap we have!

@e18e.dev at the NodeJS meetup in Berlin tonight (Contentful offices). Fantastic initiative!

So happy to see talks happening around @e18e.dev that are from the community It's a sign people really care about this and performance is becoming more important to us as a community Good work @fuzzyma.bsky.social 🙌

People told me they don't recognize me when they see my profile picture. So here is a new one. You have to admin that the old one totally looks like me, right??

How often do you rewrite your code on average? - 1x: Based. Probably a bit repetition. - 2x: Quality average. Good balance. - 3-4x: Probably overengineering or too much optimization - 5x or more: You are ai - never: Also Ai but forgot this code exists. Or you are a magician - or a lier So?

just a reminder that you can sponsor @e18e.dev on OpenCollective. these funds will go towards the people contributing in this space, and events to knowledge share this stuff. big thanks to people who already sponsored. every little counts

If you happen to be on the freelance unlocked conference in Berlin this week, hit me up for a coffee!

we're switching to quarterly posts for @e18e.dev showcases/updates, so here's the first one! we'll still be posting about other things in between, too 🙏

Community Showcase (Q1 2025)

An update on what the community has been up to in Q1 of 2025

e18e.dev

⭐️ e18e is doing some awesome work fixing the world of outdated JS packages. Goal: upgrade deps that are boated, abandoned, stuck on common js, etc through open source contributions and build tools. Some Vite maintainers there too. Follow their work! e18e.dev

Ecosystem Performance

e18e.dev

in the @e18e.dev community, we've been hard at work helping migrate packages to ES modules recently. have a read about it in the new blog post!

Migrating the ecosystem to ES modules

An update on the progress we're making migrating packages to ES modules

e18e.dev

Looking into Arri Schema and its compile function is server-only. I feel like this just screams to be done at build time to me so it can be used on the client as well. Anyone wants to write a vite-plugin real quick? :D

a few words that I think are important to say on diversity, equity and inclusion in open source (and more generally) much love ❤️ roe.dev/blog/diversity

Diversity, equity and inclusion

I'm in favour of diversity, equity and inclusion in open source communities, and here's why I think it matters.

I setup my GitHub sponsors not long ago but didn't really mention it anywhere. If you appreciate what I do, these sponsorships do help a lot 🙏 My focus this year is all over like every year 😅 (e18e, chai, tinylibs, chokidar, vueuse, and much more). But I will keep on top of them all

Sponsor @43081j on GitHub Sponsors

Finalized my bookings for @vueconf.us. Will arrive in Amsterdam at the 10th of march and stay till Sunday. If anyone wants to link up, let me know :)

Just read about "Tracked Queries" in @tanstack.com's react-query and I feel like that just sounds like @vuejs.org. Automatic dependency tracking and fine grained reactivity. Guess, its a good concept, isnt it? :P

That definitely was a journey. Awesome that you pulled through! This will unblock a lot of other e18e work. Well done! 🥳
